44．英雄相惜

英雄相惜。与其他英雄惺惺相惜是英雄的特质。可以说，这种特质是人间奇迹，因为它神秘而于人有益。心灵之间有天生的亲缘关系，心灵结合的效果是这样神奇，使得无知俗人将其归结为魔力。产生敬重，进而产生善意，有时，还能产生友爱。它无需言语而使人信服，无须付出而赢得众多。感情上的共鸣分为主动和被动两种，皆能带来相同的幸福。越如此，越令人崇敬。认识、区别并利用这种天赋，是一门伟大的艺术。无论多努力，都无法取代这种造化的眷顾。

44．Sympathy with great minds

Sympathy with great minds. It is an heroic quality to agree with heroes. It is like a miracle of nature for mystery and for use. There is a natural kinship of hearts and minds: its effects are such that vulgar ignorance scents witchcraft. Esteem established, goodwill follows, which at times reaches affection. It persuades without words and obtains without earning. This sympathy is sometimes active, sometimes passive, both alike felicific: the more so, the more sublime. It is a great art to recognize, to distinguish and to utilize this gift. No amount of energy suffices without that favor of nature.
